Background

OpenID is a way to login to applications or resources using an existing account that acts as a identity provider. The Fedora project acts as an OpenID identity provider for anyone with a Fedora Account System account.

Using

as URL. Example, if your FAS login is JohnDoe, you would enter JohnDoe.id.fedoraproject.org. If you are not logged in to FAS at this stage, you will be first taken to the FAS-OpenID login page. On the first login from each external site, you will be taken to id.fedoraproject.org and asked to approve the OpenID request.

Feedback

OpenID should work for all websites accepting OpenID login. We are looking for feedback and developers to improve the code. Send feedback to the fedora infrastructure list, #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net or in a infrastructure ticket.
